Special alloys make the best temperature thermocouples

When the heat is on, Omnigrad S saves the day

The intense heat needed to convert the raw meal into clinker in the preheater and kiln must be carefully controlled. If the temperature is not correctly monitored, this could lead to the kiln becoming too hot, resulting in a fire or explosion. The dusty environment leads to risk of fires so the temperature must be tightly controlled and the equipment must be well protected. Manufacturing the cement at the wrong temperature could also compromise product quality.

Preferred instrumentation

TAF11 & TAF16 high temperature thermocouples made of Nickel Cobalt, Silicon Carbide or Nitride for long life temperature measurement

TMT142 bright local display/transmitter or vibration resistant head transmitter

Benefits of the measuring points

TAF 16 NiCo thermocouples

Robust, shatter-proof, non-porous nickel cobalt alloy with a very good resistance to sulfidation and acidic chloride environments

Monitor your temperature accurately

As temperature is so critical, it needs to be accurately monitored in order to enable operators to look for trends that indicate there is a problem. Monitoring equipment needs to display data in real-time and in an easy-to-use format in order to recognize a problem quickly. There are three critical areas that need to be monitored: the kiln, preheater and clinker feeder. The high temperatures, dust and very harsh environment mean that conditions for monitoring equipment are very challenging.
